"Go on. Take a look around and get familiar with the place, but don't disturb the villagers' daily lives."
Zhao Wuji gave his instructions seriously.
Since the academy was built in a village, they often had to deal with the villagers.
But the academy's rule was that they mustn't disturb them.
They should avoid doing so whenever possible.
"Understood."
Lin Ye agreed, then took Xiao Wu and the others on a tour of the academy.
Honestly, there wasn't much to see.
Everything looked dilapidated, hardly enough to spark anyone's interest.
Though it was built inside a village, the academy still covered a fairly large area.
"So Shrek Academy really is this run-down."
Ning Rongrong looked a little awkward.
Had she come to the wrong place, choosing such a decrepit academy?
But then she glanced at Lin Ye beside her.
There was absolutely no way she'd come to the wrong place!
Being able to hear his thoughts was so much fun. There was nowhere else where she'd find anything like that!
Right now, she just wanted to learn more about Lin Ye's thoughts. They were fascinating.
Earlier, in the dormitory, Xiao Wu had told her a few things.
She wasn't the only one who could hear Lin Ye's thoughts. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing could hear them too!
All three girls could hear them. It was incredibly interesting.
Most importantly, Lin Ye seemed to have the ability to foresee the future.
Every now and then, he would reveal some earth-shattering information.
Through those revelations, they could learn all sorts of secrets.
They could even learn about their own futures and what their fates were supposed to be.
And if they knew their fates, they could change them!
Xiao Wu cared a lot about this.
Because she wanted to change her own fate too.
After listening to Lin Ye's thoughts over the years, she already knew that she was originally supposed to end up with Tang San.
But Tang San was a Little Scumbag!
If she ended up with Tang San, wouldn't that ruin her life?
That was why she'd stuck close to Lin Ye all this time and refused to have anything to do with Tang San.
Compared to him, Lin Ye was countless times better than Tang San.
Aside from being a little too proper and liking to make snide remarks under his breath, everything else about him was great.
His looks, personality, talent, strength, and so on.
All of them were insanely impressive.
How else could anyone explain becoming a level-sixty-five Soul Emperor at the age of twelve?
While they were wandering around, back in the student dormitory,
Tang San saw them through the window, and his eyes went wide.
"That guy... He's actually wandering around with Xiao Wu?"
"And those two girls!"
He clutched his chest, his blood boiling.
Someone he'd never taken seriously was now out strolling with the girl he liked?
In Nuoding City, he'd never once gotten the chance to do that in six years.
And now Lin Ye was openly walking around with Xiao Wu?
He'd already seen plenty of similar scenes in Nuoding City.
But every time he saw one, he was unable to stay calm.
There was no denying that Xiao Wu was very close to Lin Ye.
It seemed she might even like him.
But what was the key issue here?
The other two girls!
Lin Ye wasn't just with Xiao Wu. He was with two other girls as well. Wasn't Xiao Wu angry about that?
The thought nearly drove him mad.
Xiao Wu wouldn't give him the time of day, yet she let Lin Ye get away with so much. How was that reasonable? How was that fair?
"Lin Ye! You're asking for it!"
Tang San gritted his teeth, unable to accept it.
Coming to Shrek Academy should have been heaven-sent, an opportunity for him to win Xiao Wu over.
But why had fate played such a cruel joke on him?
Lin Ye had come to Shrek Academy and was all over Xiao Wu again.
Now he was even acting ambiguously with two other girls.
"Xiao Wu must be unhappy about this. Yes, she definitely is. She's just not showing it."
Tang San lowered his head and kept trying to convince himself.
Any girl who saw the man she liked walking around with other girls would be upset.
Xiao Wu just wasn't showing it!
Once he'd reasoned it out, he felt that his opportunity had finally arrived.
His chance to win Xiao Wu over!
All he had to do was drive a wedge between them. Then Xiao Wu would be heartbroken and leave Lin Ye.
Once Xiao Wu left Lin Ye, he could get close to her. His chance to win her over would come!
"Lin Ye, you brought this on yourself. You don't appreciate Xiao Wu, so don't blame me!"
A ruthless glint flashed through Tang San's eyes.
But then he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was too excited. Much too excited.
Zhao Wuji had severely injured him with a single palm strike, and he still hadn't recovered.
Now that he'd gotten worked up, his wound had started acting up again.
Who knew how long it would take him to recover?
Lin Ye and the others had no idea that Tang San was keeping an eye on them from the shadows.
After wandering around for a while, they started to find it dull.
Everywhere they went looked the same. It was so boring!
They were just about to head back to the dormitory when someone suddenly appeared up ahead.
[Huh? Isn't that Ma Hongjun?]
At the sound of his thoughts, all three girls looked over.
A chubby boy was tugging at a girl.
The girl wanted to leave, but the chubby boy blocked her way.
They started arguing, and the chubby boy seemed extremely agitated.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu's fiery temper immediately flared up.
But Lin Ye's thoughts soon calmed her down.
[That little fatty's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is pretty interesting. It's a shame his Evil Fire is too strong and he has to release it that way.]
[Cuihua really should have thought things through before becoming his girlfriend. He kept demanding more and more from her, and now she's scared?]
[Dean Flender is dealing with that Old Lecher, so he probably won't have time to take the little fatty to the brothels in Suotuo City to vent his excess fire for a while.]
The moment she heard that, Xiao Wu stopped in her tracks.
Her expression turned just a tiny bit awkward.
So that was what was going on?
They were boyfriend and girlfriend, and now they were breaking up. If she stepped in, wouldn't she just be butting in where she wasn't wanted?
And that little fatty was disgusting!
He even went to brothels!
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance.
They suddenly had the same thought.
Shrek Academy was filthy!
Dai Mubai was an Old Lecher, and now there was a little fatty who was a lecher too.
And Tang San was a Little Scumbag.
They could swear on their lives: how had they ended up joining an academy like this?
It was downright tragic!
Was it too late to drop out now?
They thought that, but they didn't actually want to leave.
After all, Lin Ye was here.
Lin Ye knew so much about the future.
They were desperate to learn what their futures held.
Unfortunately, even though Lin Ye often made snide remarks in his thoughts, he rarely touched on anything truly important, which left them rather frustrated.
Ma Hongjun was still arguing with Cuihua.
But Cuihua had made up her mind to break up, and there was nothing he could do.
Could he really tie her up?
If he did that, the Dean would surely break his legs and kick him out.
When he saw Cuihua leave, Ma Hongjun turned away with a grim expression, ready to go.
But as he turned, he suddenly noticed a few people watching him.
The three girls were more beautiful than any woman he'd ever seen!
In that instant, Cuihua vanished from his thoughts.
He hurried over to Lin Ye and the others.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Ma Hongjun, a student at Shrek Academy. Are you new students this year?"
After speaking, he held out a hand and stared straight at Zhu Zhuqing.
At his undisguised gaze, Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned cold.
"You filthy thing. Get lost!"
